Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2022 / Notices
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
1. I concur in today’s order.1 I remain
gravely concerned about the North
American Electric Reliability
Corporation’s (NERC) inability to act
swiftly and nimbly in response to
emerging risks that threaten the
reliability of the Bulk-Power System
(BPS). This is due in no small part to the
statutory framework of Federal Power
Act (FPA) section 215.2 According to
NERC’s Inverter-Based Resource (IBR)
Strategy document,3 ‘‘[t]he [Electric
Reliability Organization (ERO)]
Enterprise has analyzed numerous
widespread IBR loss events and
identified many systemic performance
issues with the inverter-based fleet over
the past six years.’’ 4 NERC explains that
‘‘[t]he disturbance reports, alerts,
guidelines, and other deliverables
developed by the ERO thus far have
highlighted that abnormal IBR
performance issues pose a significant
risk to BPS reliability.’’ 5 Our actions
today in this and another proceeding 6
propose firm deadlines by which NERC
must act to register and hold IBR
entities accountable for failure to
comply with mandatory and enforceable
Reliability Standards.
2. Better late than never, I suppose.
Nevertheless, it could be at least four
years before certain of the IBR entities
are registered and another five years
before the full suite of contemplated
requirements are mandatory and
enforceable. So, it will be about ten or
eleven years after the significant
reliability risk was definitively
identified that we will have required
registration and Reliability Standards in
place. The reliability consequences that
attend the rapid deployment of an
unprecedented number of IBRs are, at
this point, unarguable. As NERC’s
President and CEO explained last week:
‘‘the pace of the transformation of the
electric system needs to be managed and
that transition needs to occur in an
orderly way.’’ 7 Mandatory reliability
standards must be implemented as
quickly as possible to ensure the reliable
operation of the BPS. We at FERC are

emailed to Commission staff are not

filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the
official service list for the project.
Further, if an intervenor files comments
or documents with the Commission
relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must
also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: The
licensee requests a temporary variance
of its supplemental flow requirement in
Dinkey Creek below the Dinkey Creek
siphon. Specifically, the licensee
proposes to forego releasing the required
15 cubic feet per second (cfs)
supplemental flow from November 28,
2022, through February 5, 2023. The
licensee explains that the variance is
necessary as a result of planned
powerhouse outages, which limit its
ability to move water through the Kings
penstock into Dinkey Creek. The
licensee also explains that the proposed
variance is unlikely to result in adverse
effects to biological resources due to the
approximate 15 cfs natural flows in
Dinkey Creek, leakage from Wishon
Reservoir of approximately 25 cfs, and
